There was a time where we had a channel on the boob tube that played nothing but music videos. Sadly this station is now overrun with reality shows and the like. This is our quest to return to the times where we got money for nothing and chicks were practically free.

Single Ladies

In this song, Beyoncé urges ladies to dump their boyfriends if they don't propose. In an interview with Essence magazine, Beyoncé said when she married Jay-Z in April 2008, she didn't even want an engagement ring, so it can be safely assumed that the Texan singer was performing this song as her feisty alter-ego "Sasha."

In fact, while on tour, Beyoncé halted the song during a performance at the BankAtlantic Center in Florida. She then handed the microphone over to a male fan who announced: "Beyoncé, you told me if I like it, I need to put a ring on it." He then dropped to one knee, produced a ring and asked his stunned girlfriend to marry him, in front of the 20,000+ crowd. His girlfriend, seemingly shocked, nodded yes.

In case you watched as this video was snubbed for Best Female Video and Kanye West had a... /cough... protest... I would have to say, this IS better than Swift's video...and maybe someone needed to say it out loud. On Stage. With the mic that was in Taylor's hand a moment before.
